The man was arrested on multiple charges, including public lewdness.

A 42-year-old man was arrested in Leeds, Alabama after diving into a Bass Pro Shop aquarium naked, according to local police, WAFF 48 News reports.

The man crashed his car, disrobed, and executed a daring plunge into the store's massive aquarium on Thursday night.

Leeds Police Chief Paul Irwin said the incident left shoppers in the town just outside Birmingham in disbelief.

Video taken by bystanders showed the man do a "cannonball" dive into the aquarium and later stand under the waterfall, reported AL.com

Irwin noted that the man spent about five minutes in the water before officers arrived on the scene.

He exited the water to confront two police officers, only to dive back into the aquarium.

Evedntually, the man climbed over the side of the aquarium, falling to the concrete floor below, where he appeared unconscious, said AL.com. Law enforcement swiftly apprehended him and handcuffed the naked man, who, when he regained consciousness, started to struggle with officers.

He was charged with public lewdness, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assault on police, two counts of criminal mischief, and two counts of reckless endangerment.

Police Chief Irwin said the man suffered from mental health issues, according to his family, WAFF 48 News reported.
